Secret Beach Hideaway

Located about an hour drive from the Lihue airport and just minutes from the Princeville Resort, golf and sightseeing, this location is lush, private and offers many amenities. A favorite with honeymooners, this secluded eleven-acre property is graced by palm trees and offers the ultimate in privacy. The Villa has a large pool and deck, the Asian-styled Hale Lani cottage is ensconced in coral stone and has a sunken outdoor whirlpool spa and sunset views. The Hale Nanea cottage also has an outdoor spa, plus dark wood interiors and tropical silks. Each cottage has its own path leading down to the beach. Both cottages have fully equipped, state-of-the-art kitchens and designer furnishings and bedroom linens. The menu of in-room guest amenities includes cable TV, DVD/VCR and CD players, high-speed Internet, barbecue grills and washers/dryers. You may even find fresh orchids upon your arrival. Those wanting to relax on the north shore in unparalleled luxury can splurge for the three-bedroom Pueo Point home, which features sweeping views of the verdant coastline and walking trails down to Anini Beach.

When we last visited the Maui Brewing Co.'s brew pub in Lahaina, we were thrilled to hear this small company was making plans to package and sell their handcrafted product on the open market. Visitors to Hawaii have long enjoyed this microbrew's quality, but now it is steadily growing its market off the island.

When we think of vodka and pineapple, many good things come to mind: a tropical cocktail that combines the neutral spirit with pineapple juice, preferably served with a tiny umbrella; a pineapple-infused vodka; or biting into a pineapple that's been soaked in vodka for an adult tropical treat. But we never thought of vodka actually made from pineapple!
